#179 Mary: Although it would be generous to give them away, I think I’d keep them for my family. :) I would definitely try one of your newly posted recipes…chicken, bacon, broccoli, and rice anyone?!! YUM!!

Congrats Sheryl and Mary! I’ve sent y’all an email! :)

*Our hearts, love, and prayers go out to every family suffering after the tragedy in Connecticut. We are so sorry and heartbroken for your loss.

To celebrate Christmas, family, and holiday baking, we are excited to share this giveaway from the kind folks at Anolon for the Anolon Cook & Tell event. Today we are giving away two (2) Anolon Nouvelle Copper 11-Piece Cookware Sets. We are thrilled to share this giveaway with our sweet friends and readers here at Kevin and Amanda. I love hearing from each and every one of you.

This top-of-the-line cookware set is packed with features I love when it comes to cooking. Here are some of my favorite things about these pans:

Heavy stainless steel base makes this cookware suitable for all cooktops, including induction. Stays level on a flat cooktop.

Oven safe to 500º F.

Have you seen all the new recipes I’ve been sharing lately over on the recipe section of Kevin and Amanda? :) If you need some ideas for “quick and easy weeknight meals” here are some of our new favorites I’ve been cooking up in these pans:

Being a single mom and doing everything for your kid most of the time doesn’t allow you to buy many things and just make it with what you have which is not much. Winning this will be very helpful. Thanks for the opportunity!!

I would keep them for me! It’s crazy how a new set of pots and pans are exciting – but after 15 years of marriage and many hours in the kitchen….you have to have them! I would love to cook up some cubed venison…my daughters favorite!

I would keep these for myself…I have the same starter set from when I got married 22 years ago along with hodge podge of fry pans. Plus I am about the only one in my family that actually LIKES to cook. A set this nice would be a waste on my family. Lol.

I would keep these for myself! Gorgeous! Over the past 7 years I have gradually inherited different pots and pans from family, which gives my collection a ‘rustic’ look, but this collection would replace my loved but very used pieces with a cohesive, beautiful set!

I’d definitely keep this prize for myself if I won as the set I have now is literally falling apart! My husband would probably want me to cook egg-in-the-hole since it’s his favorite meal right now; I love how quick and easy it is to make.

I think I would keep these. I’ve been married for 32 years & still have all the cast iron pots & skillets that we got as wedding gifts! :0) I would love to win these & cook our family Christmas dinner in them. Thanks for the chance to win. Merry Christmas!

I think the first thing I would make would be…..eggs benedict! I see that larger pot to be a perfect for doing the sauce with a double boiler, which I current struggle with EVERY time I make this dish for my husband and I!

I am enjoying your blog after discovering it when you were traveling in Scandinavia. We also spent time in Copenhagen this summer. I will gift the pots to my daughter who was married in September in a very small (13 guests) but lovely wedding at our home in September.

My first thought was that I would give them to my daughter who is moving into her first apartment … but then I thought, “She wouldn’t appreciate how AWESOME these are! She doesn’t cook!” and so I would totally keep these for myself and give her my old pans. :)

If I win I would want to keep them but my brother really needs some pans so we’d probably split the set (he’d probably go for the smaller pans) and I’d get the larger because I cook for my parents and him once in a while. I don’t have a good stock pot so I’d probably use that one first. I’ve been looking. I’d make a bit pot of stew or chili.

My husband and I have not bought pots and pans in many years. When we married (23 years ago) we just “merged” our cookware and I purchased a few skillets along the way at TJ Maxx to keep us going. I would love to have this beautiful set and see if it really cooks better than my lesser expensive ones. I have always been hesitant to spend this money so Yes, Yes, Yes,… I would keep it!!

I started watching your website for the camera help as I need to learn a lot about my new Nikon, but since then have looked at all your postings. Your recipes are always so very easy and with the pictures along the way you can’t go wrong with the dish! I would love to have these for my own as I cook a great deal for myself and family and never seem to have enough pots! I am sure I would make my family favourite spaghetti and meatballs as a first dish.

My husband has been working away from home for 3 years and is coming home to stay on the 26th of December, which is our anniversary. I would throw away my 20 year old pots and pans and cook him an anniversary dinner he would never forget!

I’d keep these for myself. I have the same pans for the past 12 years and they werent the greatest to begin with: Farberware. I would definately make your peas and ham and noodles recipe again. THe family loved it. Thanks for the chance to win.

What beautiful cookware. I would probably keep a few pieces to refresh my cookware which dates back to the early days of my 40 years of marriage. It would be sooo nice to have a set of good pots and pans instead of the odds and ends that I do have. I love your recipes. It is helping get me out of weekday meal rut. Thanks!

I would make them last forever as I cook and serve my family through the years. Haven’t had a new pan set in the 23 years of marriage and raising of 3 children. It would be a GREAT Blessing to have a set that matched. :o) Thank you!

ooh.. another amazing giveaway! These pans would live and my boyfriends house. I have been trying to get him new pans FOREVER and he won’t let me. What I have to cook in over there is shameful. As far as the first thing I would make.. well that spicy sausage pasta looks scrumptious.. I think that’s what I would make first.

Hopefully I don’t sound too selfish but I would keep them for myself. I love cookware and kitchen gadgets. Love to try new recipes and it always helps when you have good tools. Thanks for the chance to win.

I plan on giving them to my parents…they deserve it! I don’t know how old their pans are and they would never think to treat themselves to anything, let alone new pans! If I were to make a meal, I would make the spicy sausage pasta. That looks tasty!

If I won, I would keep them for myself and family. We have been using the same pots and pans we received as a wedding gift. They have been well used (and loved!) Hmm, I think I would either make Shrimp Scampi or fried chicken! :)

I would buy it for my daughter and her new husband. They decided to elope when on a romantic vacation and never had a reception. He is a self-appointed excellent chef. I always look forward to his unique American-Persian perspective on dishes.

My dear daughter has asked for a set of cookware from Santa, and we are unable to afford as nice a set as you are offering to lucky winners. I figure I would take a chance on winning it, since she has promised some deliciously wonderful meals for MOI should I win. Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful offer with us.

Fondly, Ellen.

Ps…How exciting it must be to have your first Christmas in your large, beautiful home. I hope one day,you will show us how you have decorated it for the holiday!

I would give them to our daughter bahe’s getting married in May and these would be a great help to her as she sets up her first kitchen. She LOVES to cook and would enjoy coming up with new recipes using them.

I would keep this for myself. What I am cooking on now is pitiful! I just pinned your Cheesy Chicken Bacon Broccoli and Rice to make this weekend, so it would only be right to make it in these pans! Thank you so much for this giveaway!

Oh my goodness! Those pots look awesome. I think I’m going to make some seafood gumbo. They look heavy enough that it doesn’t look like anything with scorch at the bottom. Thanks for doing this. Merry Christmas!
